How was your holiday? We hope you had an amazing time with family and friends. After all, there’s the food and presents and music and decorations. Still, the most important part of the holiday season is standing together with loved ones, sharing laughter and celebration, making memories that will last a lifetime. We hope you all were able to enjoy that.

We have good news, though – the holidays are not over yet! We still have to say goodbye to 2013 and usher in 2014. There’s no better way to say goodbye than to come to the Downtown Delray Beach New Years Weekend Craft Festival with your family and friends to experience the fun and excitement of meeting talented crafters while enjoying the sights and sounds of beautiful downtown Delray Beach this weekend, Dec.28-29 from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
